Housing Complex C is an animated dark comedy series that premiered on Adult Swim in 2022. The show centers around a dilapidated apartment complex and the strange tenants who call it home. The setting of the show is a rundown apartment building simply referred to as Housing Complex C. The building has clearly seen better days with peeling paint, leaky pipes, and faulty electricity. Most of the tenants live there because rent is cheap and they have nowhere else to go. The neighborhood surrounding the complex appears run down and seedy.
Some of the eccentric characters who inhabit Housing Complex C include a paranoid shut-in named Terry, a creepy landlord named Mr. Kim, and an alcoholic single mother named Carol. Terry never leaves his apartment and keeps tabs on his neighbors via a complex surveillance system. Mr. Kim neglects maintenance requests from tenants and spies on them through peepholes he installed. Carol tries to raise her young daughter Alice in the building while battling alcoholism.
Other notable residents include a bodybuilder who only works out one arm, an old woman hoarding newspapers, and a man convinced he is being haunted by a ghost only he can see. Most of the tenants have their quirks and seem to be down on their luck. The building has a general sense of unease and creepiness about it.
The tone of the show alternates between dark comedy and horror. Many scenarios involve the tenants getting caught up in silly misadventures or chaotic disputes. However, there is often an undercurrent of something more sinister happening in the complex. At times events take on a supernatural or horror vibe as the tenants deal with unsettling mysteries.
While an overarching plot is hinted at in the first season, each episode also works as a standalone story focusing on a select group of characters. The Motifs of surveillance, paranoia, and dilapidation underscore the uneasy atmosphere. The show has received praise for its unique animation style and balance of offbeat humor with moments of genuine horror.
Housing Complex C provides an eccentric look into an off-the-beaten-path apartment building and the lives of its inhabitants. Through a combination of quirky comedy and creepiness, the show creates an engaging world filled with bizarre personalities. After one season, viewers have just begun to uncover the mysteries surrounding both the complex and its residents. The show’s strange appeal should continue to reveal itself in future episodes.
Housing Complex C is a series that ran for 1 seasons (4 episodes) between October 1, 2022 and on Adult Swim
